NAV 3.4.1 is now available for download at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nav/
This is a bugfix release, the changelog is attached to this message.
Binary packages for Debian will be available soon. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission from UNINETT.
We are currently working on migrating NAV from SourceForge.net to Launchpad.net; downloads and issue trackers will be available there once the migration is complete (a separate announcement will be made).
We are also working on complete rewrites of AlertEngine and AlertProfiles in Python, thereby ridding NAV entirely of PHP, and almost entirely of Perl. In the process we will also solve some of the basic problems that have plagued alert profiles and alert dispatching for a while. We are hoping to introduce these rewrites in NAV 3.5, scheduled for this fall.
Happy NAVing everyone!

Hi,
the Debian package is ready. For new installations follow the instructions on the metanav- [1] or Alioth-pages [2]. For upgrades, just do
aptitude update && aptitude upgrade
You might need to do a 'dist-upgrade' to include a new dependency on python-psycopg2.

I don't know if this is a significant error, but I gett his error at the very end of the upgrade of NAV:
<snip>

Am I the only one receiving this error while upgrading? Running the latest Debian STABLE build.

My upgrade using aptitude worked fine, except when restarting NAV since the "userpw_nav" variable in db.conf had been set to NULL. After copy/paste of the password from my old db.conf, all of NAV's services startet without problems.

That would only have happened if you answered yes when asked to replace the old db.conf. You shouldn't uncritically overwrite locally modified configuration files when apt asks (which is why it's default answer is No), you should inspect the changes first.

NAV in /etc/default/nav. Please do manual upgrade, enable NAV in /etc/default/nav and restart it.
The package has disabled your NAV installation, awaiting a manual schema upgrade by you.
See /usr/share/doc/nav/sql/upgrades/3.4.2.sql. Try to follow the instructions and run this manually, see what errors you get, if any (Which, I guess, is basically the instructions given in README.Debian, referred to in your error output).

This is a negligible warning. It's been there since 3.4.0, and will be fixed later.
